Last week, Fat Joe was hit with a $20 million lawsuit by his former hype man, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon who accused the Hip-Hop veteran of sleeping with underaged girls, and now, the case is taking all kinds of twists and turns that are quite interesting to say the least.

According to TMZ, Dixon’s lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn was pinched by NYPD after he allegedly mowed down a process server with his car on May 12. The victim served Blackburn with papers in relation to the Fat Joe case and an angered Blackburn put his car in reverse and backed into the 66-year-old process server causing a minor leg injury. Naturally, the victim reported the incident to authorities and Blackburn was booked for his transgression.

The papers served to Blackburn came from Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, who was suing Joe’s former hype man for defamation and extortion after Dixon attempted to sue Fat Joe for $3 million for unpaid royalties and then ultimately accusing Fat Joe of messing around with minors.

Per TMZ:

Tacopina says they wanted to get out ahead of the situation so they filed a lawsuit alleging defamation and extortion against Blackburn and Dixon. That’s when Tacopina hired the messenger to serve the complaint to Blackburn.

This led to Dixon doubling down on his stance and suing Joey Crack for $20 million accusing him of being a pedophile, but Joe isn’t backing down knowing his name and reputation is on the line. In a post on Instagram, he got personal about the situation and explained that he will “NEVER back down.”

Explaining that he’s lost both his parents and his brother to the years, Fat Joe promised to fight off “these disgusting lies” and how he felt that he’s had “individuals in my circle take my love and kindness for weakness, but how many times must we forgive them?”

Taking a shot at both Dixon and Blackburn, Joe continued on writing, “I’ve never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I let a crooked attorney and a coward ex-hype man extort me?? I’m from the Bronx!”

Promising to finish Blackburn in a court of law, Fat Joe ended his lengthy post saying, “You’ve messed with the wrong one this time!!”

Well, guess we’ll have to wait and see how this pans out. If it goes to trial, discovery will be a must and evidence will have to be presented to support the allegations against Fat Joe. If there is none, well, that’s the end of that. Does Dixon have the receipts to prove his allegation or will it just be his word against Fat Joe’s?
